@Rudi, OK, I’ll watch this thread to monitor Deezer’s progress on FLAC with Heos, and may come back to Deezer HiFi if this gets resolved.
Thanks for the reply! Even on a Sunday @bluezzbastardzz :) Interesting thought, that it might already stream the FLAC file but its just the display thats not updated. @Rudi can you maybe find out that in fact it is already working and just not displaying right? I think i can speak for all of us here that nobody cares whats displayed as long as its streaming the FLAC :). I also just checked on the DENON and no firmware update available. But if you guys are 100% certain that it should work, than we can reach out to DENON to get them to update the firmware. In my experience, Denon/Marantz AVRs and AVPs with Heos will display the actual streaming format that they are receiving. This is visible within the Heos app, the AVR/AVP image sent to a TV, and by hitting the status button on the AVR/AVP. Net, Deezer is apparently not able to stream FLAC to Heos. Qobuz, Tidal, and Amazon Music HD do stream FLAC to Heos. I’ve tried them all and Heos displays the full FLAC resol
@Rudi, in the Chromecast thread you said the Deezer HiFi now works with Heos. However, like the poster above, I’m only getting 320 kbps MP3, so HiFi is not working. Heos is on my Marantz AV7704 processor, which works with tracks up to 24 bit/192 kHz on Amazon Music HD and Qobuz. Also, my Heos app is up to date.
If I had to guess, I’d say the 3 most widely used audio component streaming hardware platforms globally are Sonos, Denon/Marantz Heos, and Yamaha MusicCast. Deezer HiFi FLAC works on 2 of the 3, right? I feel Deezer should make Denon/Marantz Heos a priority for HiFi FLAC, as Denon/Marantz AVRs and Processors are very popular. Also, I believe that the folks who own traditional audio components and nice speakers are probably some of the more fervent people when it comes to sound quality, so getting Deezer HiFi FLAC to these systems would be of high interest to these people (self included). If Deezer does implement HiFi FLAC on Denon/Marantz Heos, please implement Favorites/My Music. While Amazon Music HD does play at full resolution on Denon/Marantz Heos, the lack of one’s personal library Favorites/My Music was a deal breaker for me personally, as you have to search for tracks/albums each time.
